Coronavirus Testing In Melrose Offered For A Second Day

MELROSE (CBS) — Coronavirus testing will continue to be available at the Melrose Middle School/High School Saturday. The testing is free and open to anyone in the community.

The testing site was opened on Friday after a recent uptick in cases, said Mayor Paul Brodeur. At least one Melrose High School student has tested positive for COVID-19.

Around 5 p.m. Friday, the wait time to be tested was over two hours, so the city decided to open testing on Saturday as well.

Anyone getting tested is asked to wear a mask, stay in your car, and do not bring pets. Appointments are not necessary.

Results are available within 24 to 48 hours.
